Dry Times In wisconsin.

A letter to THE CRITIC from that distn-
guished veteran of the Mexican war, Ms
well as Democrat without reproach, and
patriotic orator, Colonel Everhard Welter
OF the Soldiers Home, now temporarily on
Blackhawk's old hunting ground in the
West, states that he is suffering severely
from neuralgia, one of his eyes being scrl-
ously affected, but he hopes to knock his
enemy out. He was somewhat better at
last accounts. His letter, which is dated at
Monroe Wis, September 5, says:
"The Southern portion OF Wisconsin, so
terribly ecorched by the long drouth of last
spring and summer, has greatly improved,
since rain came on August 4th last. Indeed,
from desert OF Sahara, as the land ap-
peared to me July 81, when | came from
your fresh-looking District OF Columbia, the
productive prairies of Southern Wisconsin
and Northern Illinois have again assumed
the look OF green oasis.' Need say that
human and animal creation feel greatly re-
lieved, and that the tlllers OF the soil again
look hopefully to the future. Corn Is most
all cut up. Tobacco soon will be. Grass
is growing rapidly, as well as late sown
mlllet, Hungarian grass and other substi-
tutes for hay. Much depends on how long
frost will stay away. Should that destroyer
not appear till late In October, considerable
stuff can be raked and scraped together be-
fore frosty November arrives

HETwEEN rnE LINES.

Between the lines the smoke hung low,
And shells flew screaming to and iro,
While blue or gray In sharp distress
Rode fast, their ehattered lines TO press
Again upon the lingering foe.
'Tis paet--and now the roses blow
Where war wa. wagiug years ago;
And naught exists save friendliness
Between the lines.
To you who made the traveller know
In Southern homes how warm hearts glow,
Let even this halting verse express
Some measure Of true thankfulness,
And grateful loving memory show
Between the lines.

A NEW PARTY.s PLATFORM.

The National Convention Of the Amer.
ican party was held at the city Of Philadel.
phia and adopted a platform Of principles
nearly as radical as the dark.!antern dog.
mas Of the Know. Nothings Of genera
ton ago A synopsis Of this intensely ma.
tive American platform will show that the
sentiment "Americans must rule America
has a respectable following. The declara-
ton is made that our present system of i'm.
migration and naturalization Of foreigners
is detrimental to the welfare Of the United
States, and OF remedy this the new party
demands the establishment Of Depart.
ment Of immigration, the head Of which
is to be member Of the Cabinet. A re.
vision OF the naturalization laws is de,nan
ded, making a continued residence Of four.
teen years in the country the indespensi.
bic qualification for citizenship, and exclu.
ding all socialists, nihilists, paupcrs and
criminals, but. does not propose to disturb or
interfere with the vested rights Of foreign
ers. On educational matters the platform
demands greater protection for free com.
mon schools, and recommends free com.
pulsory education in all States and Terri.
tories alike. Touching the land question
it demands that American lands be reserv.
ed for American citizens, that nonresident
aliens he debarred from ownership Of real
estate, and that the holdings Of residen!
aliens be limited in area and value. 1t fur.
ther condemns the donation Of public lands
to private corporations. OF the boarded
millions in the National treasury It favors
releasing the surplus to the people. In the
matter Of public works, 1t asks for judi.
cious system Of internal improvements and
the construction Of Notifications and the
building up Of the navy are demanded. The
plank relating to religion re.asserts the
American principle Of the freedom OF re-.
ligious worship and belief. On the labor
problem 1t recognizes the right of laborers
to organize for protection and secure BY
lawful and peaceful means great rewards.
In demanding a vigorous foreign policy,
It especially includes the protection Of the
fisheries. Stripping the new party platform
Of its glittering generalities there are princi.
ciples enunciated that will catch the atten.
ton Of native Americans, but It is ques.
ton II Montana Americans will desert the
Republican and Democratic parties to join
this new American party.
The Dillon tribune., 1887-09-23
MILITIA MATTERS.

In Montana for q number Of months
past greater interest has attached to the
organization Of the militia than at any 9th.
er period since the formation Of the Terri.
tory. The National Guard of Montana
has made commendable growth, and in its
membership is to be found enrolled the
names Of our best citizens. The compa.
nies composing the Guard have made
good progress in uniforming and equipping
themselves, and for the limited time they
have attained fair degree Of proficiency in
drill. Our home company, and the com.
panies elsewhere, should be cordially sup.
ported in efforts toward perfecting organi.
zation and sustaining themselves. This is
the sentiment Of large majority of good
citizens, and It is doubtful II single indi.
vidual could be found who would not lend
helping hand whenever an opportunity
to do SO is presented. The men who are
interesting themselves in creating a good
militia service for Montana are entitled and
should receive the hearty support of the
people. The maintenance OF our militia
can not be made on the small Govern.
ment pittance distributed. The financial
backing Of the militia must come from the
people, for thorough aud effective militia
service requires more money than Con.
gress will allow or the Legislature give.
1t Is true the money comes from the peo.
pie, but it does not pass through official
hands In reaching its object. Why? Out.
side Of our regular army, citizens should
know and fully realize without question
from what source armed bodies receive
their support. The support should come
as directly as possible from the whole peo.
pie. In the States the crack companies
and crack regiments do no, depend or re.
" ON State stipends for support. Fairs
entertainments and balls are given and the
public spirited people literally contribute
in these ways toward maintaining an eff
cient militia. These are the means ON,
Montana militia should inaugurate il they
desire to receive the assistance they merit
and deserve. We may expect to see some
such plan inaugurated and it will surely
be popular with the people.

archipelago contains valuable farming
lands, forests. and mineral deposits. The
Argentine Government is taking steps to
co:onize and develop the islands.
